Fake News buried the truth in the copy. The headline is a LIE.
“Murphy said she did not want the book banned completely, rather until new policies that addressed explicit material for students were put in place.
“I’m not some crazy book burner,” Murphy said. “I have great respect and admiration for our Fairfax County educators. The school system is second to none. But I disagree with the administration at a policy level.””
Parents can ask for the reading lists before the start of the school year, but most never bother because its been the same old song - mostly from the working mommies - ‘teachers know best’.
18 years ago, our school also assigned a Toni Morrison novel for senior year. I told the head of the dept that my son was not going to read the book....and we agreed on a suitable substitute. Only one other student in a class of 25 was pulled out.
If parents NEVER complain, if they ALWAYS go along, the boards & teachers give themselves power that they were NEVER entitled to.
Nope.
It seems convoluted at the start. Then it become racial when you bring in Morrison’s name.
It’s a nice way to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
Not wanting impressionable children exposed to explicit materials in schools without their parents' knowledge or permission is a "dangerous, out-of-touch and bigoted agenda" according to McAuliffe and the Democrats.
This is why we need to fight to be elected to the school board. If we run, we can fight the teachers unions, the indoctrinating of our kids and make sure the kids are getting a quality education. I was talking to a parent about her child school and she said, when I told her that she needs to run for school board, she said that she doesn’t have time. I told her yes, it is her kid who is affected. No one has time to run, only the leftists... and you see what they are doing....
What part - letting parents have a say, or this particular item?
McAuliffe is campaigning on “Keep Parents out of Classrooms”
The ad says nothing about “Beloved.” It talks about explicit material.
Article is a dog whistle to black female voters in Virginia, to make them angry at this white Karen for daring to hate on St. Toni.
The left wing rag, The Hill, spews its pathetic left wing propaganda.
This focus on the relatively benign Beloved is the media’s attempt to distract from the outright pornographic materials she also wants removed.
But of course, child pornography is considered fine with the left as the ground erodes away…
